STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 14, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Enterprise Business communications software company StreamServe, Inc. has attracted Brian Mort, one of the most talented software executives in Europe, to head up its expanding enterprise sales division. Mort will bring over 20 years experience to his new role as executive VP of enterprise sales; using skills developed at Rank Xerox, Dell, Oracle, SAP - where he was leading salesman in Europe in 1998 - and Extensity to accelerate the company's enterprise capabilities and establish a market leading position.
Recent figures from analyst groups indicate that a new multi-billion dollar market segment is set to grow around enterprise business communications software. StreamServe is already taking a leading position in this market with its Business Communication Platform, a powerful and scaleable suite of software that allows enterprises to collaborate with customers, partners and suppliers through integrated, personalized business communication.
"It is my goal to ensure that the clear business benefits of StreamServe's Business Communications Platform are available to all global enterprises," Mort explains. "We are building strategic alliances with the leading ERP and CRM players, systems integrators and channel partners to make sure this happens, and to ensure that we exploit the opportunity that exists to become the dominant global player in this emerging market."
Mort will report to Nick Earle, a former top executive at Hewlett- Packard and Ariba, who was recently appointed as StreamServe's new chief executive officer. Sheila Gibson, previously of RightWorks Corporation, Baan and The CODA Group, was also recently brought in as chief marketing officer. The aggressive recruitment program is part ofStreamServe's continuing commitment to become the leading enterprise business communication software company worldwide.
CEO Nick Earle explains: "Traditionally, StreamServe customers have bought our Distributed Output Management product but increasingly they are extending their vision to our new Business Communications Platform solution. We're now in a position where enterprise sales are growing rapidly and will accelerate our move to be a world-class enterprise solutions provider. That's why we fought off a number of the biggest software players to bring in an executive with proven enterprise sales and general management leadership at the highest level."
Prior to joining StreamServe, Mort was EMEA VP and general manager for Extensity Inc., where he ran all EMEA operations and was part of the executive team that took the company through an IPO.
